You dress in the morning with jewelry of steel,
While thousands of miles away, they forge bullets from the same thing.
They claim to keep the peace as they turn their gun your way—
More steel, melted down, to make your coffin nails.
And once again, you're dressed in jewelry of the same kind.

You dress in the morning with jewelry of steel,
While thousands of miles away, they forge bullets from the same thing.
They claim to keep the peace as they turn their gun your way—
More steel, melted down, to make your coffin nails.
And once again, you're dressed in jewelry of the same kind.
